The Hut of Gl/Doom Part V- for the unapologetically despondent

The new hut. Ta-da!

This one is a snug little basement World War 2 type nightclub, with dim lighting, snug velvet sofas, red walls and certainly no politically correct smoking bans. Occasionally certain selected men may be admitted at our convenience.

Sit down, make yourselves at home, and never, ever apologise for feeling like shit. That's about it.

It's such a breathtaking thing that I can only feel happy/ sympathetic for her in equal measures.

Oh I get you - I think. How are you dealing with it Duchesse?

A friend of mine is such an enormous situation (that I can't talk about on here) that I can only feel deeply sympathetic for her even though it involves one of the things I would really really like for myself at the moment.

Oops Fraudian slip.....

Asgoodas · 15/01/2008 20:49

Thanks Ron, I will have to take deep breaths and remember that she is a cow -- just very excited x

ronshar · 15/01/2008 20:42

I would say that you are probably being understandably sensitive but more importantly your friend is being more than a little insensitive! Maybe a little chat to remind her of how she would feel if situation was reversed. Obviously you are happy for her but there is only so far the human spirit can stay happy when ones nose is being rubbed in it!!!

Asgoodas · 15/01/2008 20:22

There is this girl I work with. She is due on the same day I was. (m/c for me) She had a m/c in May so knows how awful it is. Anyhoo her pg is all she talks about to me, all the time. Every topic I bring up she turns it round. I have started to stay away from her but feel immature and petty. Is it me being over sensitive or he not being sensitive at all?

ronshar · 15/01/2008 19:30

I wanted a baby at least a year ago, does that help. I now dont care when, what, how. I will even have a C-Section and a hospital birth if that helps my baby turn up. That is how bad it is getting. I hate hospitals.

ladylush · 15/01/2008 19:13

I really hope it is a better year for all of us

OracleInaCoracle · 15/01/2008 18:51

lol at the end of every cycle i tell dh, wanted a spring/summer/autumn/winter baby anyway (delete as necessary)

ladylush · 15/01/2008 18:38

Hope it all goes well Lissie - good to be getting seen at least.

The good thing about mumsnet is that we can pretend we aren't skint as is the norm in January and hence have bought duchesse some obscenely extravagant virtual gifts

Oh and I have to confess to (what seems like many moons ago) saying I would like a summer baby Stupid, stupid and stupid.

What are your plans tonight duchesse?

OracleInaCoracle · 15/01/2008 17:56

That was me before, sorry I was hiding as I was being mean and unkind. My particular favourite lately was 'I'm pregnant but didn't want a baby born in....' posts

And I am on Flood Day, so definitely not. But then, I "stopped trying" four months ago, so that shouldn't worry me, should it?

Asgoodas · 15/01/2008 17:19

Duchesse and Herbaceous - I agree, would be very happy with either. Am due AF today. Not a sign - of anything. I just know I'm not but the angels are flapping...

What about the "OMG I'm expecting y but wanted x" threads? How many times before everybody dies of boredom reading them?

Hang on- I have those angels! Maybe they do the rounds...

And how come everyone starts a thread about how to conceive a girl/boy, rather than reading the other five hundred on the same subject. FFS.

Happy Birthday Duchesse. I found being 40 was a lot better than the anticipation - it was a relief not to have to worry about it any more!

I'm in that ridiculous part of the cycle - cd21, sore boobs, twingy belly, bloating, etc, - when the devil on one shoulder is saying 'well, could be...' and the angel on the other's saying 'for god's sake, get a grip. It's like this every month'. I've even managed to convince myself that I don't care either way. Yeah. RIGHT.
